Visit The Into The WIld Magic Bus

Visit The "Magic Bus" from Into The Wild with us as it sat on June 22, 2011.

We did a quick walk through of the bus where Chris McCandless lived in the summer of 1992 before we walked back out of the wild.

For me it's a mystery how the bus ended up right in the middle of nowhere.

@plazzax theres a great vid that explains it on youtube - search history of the magic bus stampede trail. In short, they were going to build a highway across where the stampede trail is and a few buses were put out there for shelter for the prospectors. The highway was never built because it was to wet. Then there was an old mine and the bus was about halfway from the mine to Healy and was used to store supplies in World War II. In the 70's some trappers outfitted the bus.

can someone please tell me where i can find the exacte location of this bus?

i'm 16 years old and when i've finished school, i want to go travel to this bus and stay there for as long as my body and mind can handle.

@DucoDervish youre better off finding your own bus. I think youre missing the point terribly. People go to this place to connect with Chris and what he stood for. If you want to challenge yourself, do it on your own path.

Note: If you have to find out where it is by commenting on a Youtube clip, you're probably not taking it seriously enough to make any sense.

seems like the steering wheel was taken off by someone; I saw it on most of the other older videos on youtube. That's sad!
